MSU - Henderson
MSU-Henderson: Mike Freels retired this week from MSU. HCC had the opportunity to thank him for his service at a reception hosted June 29. Please note the public goodbye below from Roy Pullam, which was published in the Gleaner. Heather Roy, MSU director at Madisonville Community College, will be on campus 2-3 days a week while additional staff is hired for MSU- Henderson. Her first day on campus will be July 2nd.

Mr. Roy Pullam, HCC alum, shared this letter to the editor with the Gleaner and with HCC. 
 
Were you to talk to me very long, you would hear how HCC was a critical decision on my part. I remain a proponent of the community college more than fifty years after attending the college on the hill. I hear that I was a non-tradition student. Maybe that is so, but I guess most of the people I went to HCC with were. We were first generation college students. Our parents were blue collar. Another common trait is that we could not have afforded an away school. HCC remains that gateway to a better life. It still has an open door and a welcoming spirit. A good, reasonable education is available for those individuals who want to change the backdrop of their lives.

Several years ago another component was added to HCC. Mike Freels was hired by Murray State University to bring a satellite campus to Henderson. Mike took the Murray campus from the old 7th Street School, to the North Middle School annex, to finally finding a home at HCC. Students could finish with an associate degree then go on to get a BS in Henderson. While I can see a need for attending at a college campus for the culture aspects, the associations, the independence, the research opportunities and just the aura of academia; I know that not everyone who wants a college education for numerous reasons has that entree.

Mike was ideal for building a tradition here. He had gone through HCC, he had gotten his BS and Masters at Murray, he had been a teacher and administrator in Henderson County schools and he was well liked in the community. Mike built enrollment, he struggled to get better facilities, he constantly advocated for MSU, he built relationships with high school counselors, Kyndle and various school systems that would hire graduates.

Mike is retiring from MSU. I certainly hope Murray is not going to de-emphasize the program Mike built here. I know that whatever they do and whatever reason they are doing it, they will not undo all the good Mike did for the community and for the students. I am often accused of being a cheerleader. Maybe that so, but I like to say that I was brought up to express gratitude to individuals and groups that go the extra mile and make a difference in the place where I live. Mike has been a wonderful resource for the community. I am grateful for his contribution, and I know he will be hard to replace.
